Television news cameras were staking out their carpark on Monday morning but Brisbane's players are adamant an investigation into alleged drunken incidents involving James Roberts is no distraction to their NRL season.
The sixth-placed Broncos face ladder leaders Melbourne this weekend with a top-four berth very much in their sights but they're also dealing with claims Roberts has twice been evicted from Brisbane venues in the past fortnight.
Veteran forward Sam Thaiday says he doesn't think the centre should be suspended over the allegations and categorically denies the issue is hampering the Broncos' efforts on the field.

Wolverine 3 Could Be Titled as Weapon X
Anyone who's anyone has been waiting to hear more news about the next installment of the Wolverine solo franchise. Luckily for them, they may finally have some answers.
For those who already know, there has been a lot of speculation regarding the story for Wolverine 3 following the "Old Man Logan" storyline from the comics. A lot of pictures on Hugh Jackman's Instagram page, with him sporting a beard and hat, not unlike the Wolverine in the comic book story, more than give off that vibe. Adding to this is the fact the movie will also take place in the future and will have an "R" rating due to its violent nature.
Despite the movie possibly fitting that story, the movie's title will not be written as such, as some sources have come out and stated that the movie will be titled "Weapon X." What's interesting about this is that on the surface Weapon X seems more in line with Wolverine's origin story, but it goes beyond his origins and is a major part of the character's history. Not to mention the fact that other movies have already shown some of Wolverine's origins.
Other things that could also be included in the movie can be linked to the Weapon X series that started in 2002 and introduced the world to a female clone of Wolverine called X-23. It's very likely that this could happen but as of now it's just a rumor.

No entries in weeks. No shame, no apologies, but one excuse: I've undertaken the labor of writing a book on life with twins. Presumably the task will continue to occupy a good slice of my free time, which, anyway, is a small slice itself.

Cheeky Onion

Uncategorized cheek, onion, taco Leave a comment
Suppose you just completed a meal at a local taco restaurant—one of those authentic places, where you're obliged to speak Spanish but pay in dollars, a place whose walls are plastered with radiant posters displaying the match schedules of Mexican soccer clubs, ads for discount call-abroad phone cards, racks full of CDs whose covers depict groups of paunchy avuncular hombres dressed in black with enormous sombreros and bikini clad chicas seductively beckoning a purchase (of the CD, not of them), framed paintings of fighting cocks, and black and white photos of various 19th century revolutionary heroes. Suppose your meal consisted of three soft-shell tacos filled with roasted steak, a cilantro-onion mixture and dribbles from a lime wedge, plus a small ladle-full of blazing hot sauce (suppose you chose the light green one over the dark green, the orange, or deep red options, all blazing hot). Now, after all that supposing, indulge your imagination once again, and suppose you consume these tacos, and walk outside with a straggler onion bit adhering to your cheek. Is it the public's duty to bring it to your attention? Who declared that just because we weren't born with finely chopped produce adorning our faces it is somehow awkward to do so now? Civilized society should acknowledge the merit of oniony cheeks—having a healthy snack close at hand—and move on to other concerns.
For the record, this did not happen to me. I'm merely readying for that possibility.
How's That?

Uncategorized lark, obscure words, Scrabble, vocabulary Leave a comment
'LARKIER', that's how. Last night my cell phone's mini-Scrabble dropped this obscure gem on me for 41 points.
I admit I'm the sole cause of my undoing. I chose to tangle with a computer brain on the most difficult level of this classic game. (The download cost me eight bucks for unlimited frustration plays). Whenever I poke my finger in that snake hole I seem oblivious to squaring up against an apathetic agglomeration of circuits that can consult an unabridged dictionary's worth of verbiage at fiber optic speed. Brazenly I pitted my lowly neurons, already busy with thoughts on the Orlando Magic's double-digit deficit and the large male mosquito dancing and bouncing its way up the living room wall. The result is not surprising. A few turns into the match I'm down 57 to 163 and wonder why I bother to go on.
If only I can grow intellectually from the flogging, things wouldn't be so bad. Since the 'larkier' flash card in my 2nd grade English class apparently slipped out of the stack leaving me dumb to its definition, I consulted the good word book for help. That's where the trouble started. Google's "define:" feature turned up nothing. Another high-octane multi-language translator/dictionary/thesaurus that easily churns through complex French business terms and spits them out in plain English couldn't crack it either. It did, however, point me to the root word "lark" and offered the adjectives 'larkish' and 'larky', but no 'larkier.' Perhaps it was a fouled spelling attempt at 'lacquer?' . If so, I want my $8 back.
I then resorted to the Random House Unabridged. I flipped through its weighty mass. No luck there. I got 'larker' (close!), 'larkiness', 'larkishness', 'larkingly', 'larkish', 'larky', 'larkishly', and 'larksome.' I failed to spy 'larkier' anywhere on that page 1084, in the appendix, inside the back cover flap, or hidden under the price sticker. Perhaps the dictionary came with a bookmark with words shamefully left out from the printing? No, it did not. At least not my inherited copy. Where to turn next in search of meaning for that mysterious assemblage of letters? Must I pore through Turkish technical manuals, Inuit igloo scribblings from days preceding Erik the Viking, or signals beamed from interstellar inhabitants graciously suggesting additions to our lexicon? I'd had enough.
So, Scrabble parent company Hasbro, consider this a formal complaint. There ain't no such damn word. I demand the return of a bunch of points, my pride, and six interrupted hours of writing this blog. Go larkier yourselves!

My husband and I are in a somewhat unique situation in that our families and most of our siblings are all in the same state. In addition to this, my parents are divorced which means we have three sets of parents. While we love having so much family nearby, we don't like it as much during the holidays because it always seems like someone doesn't get visited or an event can't be attended. We've experienced a lot of frustration and guilt over the years as we have tried to make everyone happy, to the exclusion of ourselves.
Since that first Christmas almost seven years ago, we've gone through a lot of trial and error when it comes to planning how to spend our time during the holidays. We don't have it all figured out, but maybe you can learn from our experience and go on to enjoy the holidays a little more fully.
Establish fluid traditions You've heard the saying that goes something along the lines of "celebrating Christmas all year long and not just at Christmastime". The idea of course being that we can have the feeling that surrounds Christmas all the time. I think that this applies to holiday traditions (and other traditions) as well. We can do different activities throughout the holidays that doing have to happen right on or around Christmas Day (or Thanksgiving or whatever holiday you are celebrating). By spreading them out, I think it just adds to the excitement and joy of the season. Holidays are so busy and if the only time you do certain things are during the holidays, it's possible that doing those activities might lend to more anxiety or frustration rather than the happiness of the event because it's squished in between everything else you have going on. (Which leads me to my next point...)
Be flexible and willing to compromise Since having kids, I've learned to be more flexible with my time. I still like planning and schedules and routines, but they aren't as set in stone as I used to insist on. Since being married, I've learned that true compromise, where both of us are happy with the final decision, is equally important. Back to my husband and I on our first Christmas: we both wanted to see our families on Christmas, so the "compromise" we made was that we'd spend time with my family during the first half of the day and his family during the second half of the day. This sounded great in theory, but in practice, we didn't even make it over to his parent's house until 8pm that night. The next year, we spent a little less time with my family and more time with his. Gradually, we've been able to work out a system that my husband and I agree on. It changes a little from year to year, of course, but the holidays are actually enjoyed instead of dreaded or something to get through.
The holidays can be challenging when it comes to splitting time between family, but hopefully at least one of these suggestions will help you.
What has helped you when deciding how to split time between family during the holidays?

When we go to the dictionary to find out the meaning of baptism, it soon becomes clear that the lexicographer got his information from traditions of the churches. We find there that any one of three "modes" of baptism will suffice. However, when we turn the Bible, the scene changes. It is an immersion, plain and simple. Here is how we know:
Word Meaning: Baptism was not translated into English. It has been transliterated– brought into our language with minor changes while remaining the same. The Bible word for baptism is baptisma. This word literally means "to dip, plunge or immerse." It was the common word used for dying a piece of cloth. Only immersion got the job done.
Bible Use: We read in John 3:23 that " much" water was required. Philip met the request of the man from Ethiopia by having them both "go down into the water," and he baptized (immersed) him, and they "came up out of the water." Baptism is called a "burial" in the Bible. Romans 6:1-4 allows us to see that Christians are those who have been buried and raised to a new life.

In the Beginning…
September 10th, 2006 by Grumpy Frenchman
… random changes in an uncaring Universe created the Heaven and the Earth, and flowers and snow and beer and Insurance Salesmen. And everything went from ordered and flat to extremely disordered and mightily complicated, and there was some rejoicing in between the terror and the pain.
Particles exploded, gases expanded, rocks coalesced and comets whizzed around like skaters on acid, until funny-looking blobs started moving around looking for food, shelter, and singles bars. Didn't take long before something yelled at something else, and communication was born. And now, eeeeons later, we've got blogs.
Now that's evolution for you kiddies.
This, is my blog. Home on the net. It's where I've decided to try and get some creative processing done, since I'm so obviously incapable of doing it otherwise. Considering how long I spend online per day, it's not such a crazy idea after all.
Now, don't expect genius. Don't expect sense. Don't expect logic, or continuity, or some sort of theme. I'm going to put whatever I damn well want or feel like on this site, regardless of guidelines, frequentations, or requests. This is not an attempt at pleasing the masses with something publishable; it's merely a personal collection of works that happens to be online.
Even so, it's nice to be read, and even more so to be liked. Please say so if you like the content. My ego will purr happily.
So, the last two paragraphs aren't really compatible. Well, I'm a walking paradox. Deal with it.

Power of One is HCL's powerful employee volunteering and payroll giving program as well as the cornerstone of HCL Foundation's work for positive urban transformation.
Noida: The idea of Power of One is based on the belief that all we need is just one rupee per day or one British Pound or US Dollar per week and one hour, one day, one month or one year of community service from HCL employees to make a significant difference in society.
It is the contribution by each individual at HCL that powers "Power of One". It is a platform created by HCL Foundation to further their contribution to nation building as proud HCLites.
Driven by a dedicated group of HCL Community Champions, employees can make important contributions to communities through various activities: teaching, rehabilitation, counselling, mentoring, training and sensitization programs. These efforts address a broad range of development issues including education, health, livelihoods and environment.
Power of One consist of two key components:
Daily Payroll Giving – Employees are encouraged to contribute one rupee every day in India, one US Dollar per week in US, one British Pound per week in UK, and so on. These funds are directed to key initiatives and are over and above the CSR spends of HCL Foundation and mapped separately.
Community Championship – Depending on their time, interests and expertise, HCL Foundation supports employees to volunteer on community service projects.
Power of One ensures active and regular financial support and participation by HCL employees in humanitarian and developmental projects. It enables them to act on issues they care about and become valuable agents of change in making the communities where they live and work a better place.
·So far, 50,000 HCL employees have participated in the Power of One & devoted approximately 150,000 hours this year
·Over 200,000 people across India have benefitted from the employee volunteering efforts
·100 HCL employees have adopted 100 schools across 12 states positively impacting 50,000 students
Following are key Power of One initiatives:
·My School - Giving back through community service. Through this initiative, employees can become a friend, guide and role model through inclusive social development activities implemented in a school of his or her choice. This project uses a highly specialized baseline tool that leads to a strategic school development plan for each one of 100 schools under this project. Through a structured approach, the plan is prepared and implemented in conjunction with school authorities, children, communities, parents, HCL employees and other stakeholders. HCL Foundation partners with specialised NGO partners for ensuring a high quality My School project.
·My Scholar - Launched in late 2016, My Scholar is a long-term scholarship program to support the education of talented and hardworking children from low-income families. Eligible beneficiaries include children from HCL Foundation's project areas, or from HCL support staff, including housekeeping, transport, security and other such allied support services.
Through mentoring and financial support, the annual scholarship program facilitates both higher secondary as well as higher education for 100 deserving students. The goal is to support them stay in school, continue their education and find rewarding employment. Rupee 1 that is donated each day by close to 35,000 employees, is used to award these scholarships and provide quality support to the scholars.
·Sports For Change: The aim of "Sports for Change" by HCL Foundation is to support and encourage sports skills and nurture talent through participation among the students of HCL supported My School and My Community (Gurukuls and Yuvakendra) projects. These children belong to economically compromised backgrounds and have no access to basic sports facilities.
'Power of One' Carnival
The carnival was a celebration of the unique employee volunteering and payroll giving initiative of HCL – The Power of One. Focused at promoting positivity and togetherness in the work space, this initiative aims at strengthening the corpus, used for awarding scholarships to the meritorious students from economically challenged backgrounds. Employees of HCL contribute one rupee per day to this corpus. The programme also encourages employees to volunteer and engage in community service projects.
The carnival was a fun-filled day with varied cultural performances and activities led by children from HCL Foundation's project locations, stalls by NGO partners, experiential workshops, various engagement activities, music & dance.
As part of the carnival, employee volunteers were recognised and rewarded for their contributions of time and monetary commitment. During the Scholarship Ceremony under the 'My Scholar Program', 72 scholarships were awarded in the presence of their families.
Through the Carnival, HCL Foundation showcased the work carried out in the community engagement programmes through posters, nukkad nataks, flash mobs, exhibits, working models of projects undertaken.
Stalls were set up for all participating NGOs to display their work. A special display corner too was set-up for the students where they could display their science models and art and craft exhibits. A talent corner too was set-up where employees and selected students from centres could display their skills via theatre, dancing, singing and other avenues.

Waiting for Inspiration
You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club. – Jack London
Recently a new writing coaching client emailed me to say, "I haven't been writing. I just don't feel inspired." I immediately shot a message back explaining that "You can"t wait for inspiration. If you get nothing else out of our coaching together beyond this awareness it will make a huge difference in your creative life."
No writer or other artist waits for inspiration before showing up. Painter Chuck Close said, "inspiration is for amateurs – the rest of us just show up and get to work." Flannery O'Connor, the noted Southern writer, described her habit of going to her office everyday from 8am to noon, "she wasn't sure if anything was going to happen but she wanted to be there if it did.â€
Most writers just start writing and find inspiration along the way. John Steinbeck would always end one day's writing in the middle of the page, so he could pick up the thread the next day. He insisted that "In writing, habit seems to be a much stronger force than either willpower or inspiration."
Current research in the neuroscience of the brain shows that creativity is activated when we are in the brain wave states of alpha and theta which are associated with meditation, intuition and information beyond our conscious awareness. This is why a writer often needs to write a page of what feels uninspired in order slow the mind down and hit the zone.
This is true of all acts of creativity. We have to show up and begin to play with the process to access the place of inspiration. The more we commit to our creativity through our intentions and actions the more our creativity flows and the more juiced, excited and inspired we feel.

Values and the Generation Gap: Junior College Freshmen and Faculty.
Brawer, Florence B.
This comparison of values held by junior college freshmen and faculty is part of a larger study being conducted by the ERIC Clearinghouse for Junior Colleges to develop guidelines for institutional assessment and/or program development. Part I of this monograph discusses the generation gap as it applies particularly to values and goals of American college students. Included are: definitions of belief systems; approaches used to assess them, notably the Rokeach Terminal and Instrumental Value Scales; and pertinent research and rationale for incorporating a study of values into an analysis of the community college. Part II describes the basic rationale and results of this investigation. The student and faculty populations surveyed come from three Los Angeles area junior colleges, each respectively embodying the characteristics of an urban, suburban, and rural school. Most notably, it was found that: (1) the actual role of student or teacher seems to affect a value system more than the other variables of sex, designated major, and age; and (2) values do indicate one potentially fruitful way of examining people. It is hoped that by examining value differences, ways may be found to better understand people who function in our systems of education. (Author/CA)

I recently came across a little notebook that Andrew had used for writing assignments when he was about 14 years old. He was really struggling with writing down his thoughts. A written assignment of one page could sometimes take him hours to complete. He knew what he wanted to say, but struggled to get those words out, both on paper and verbally. As you can imagine, school was extremely difficult for him, and he visited your office the first time with very low self-esteem.
Ten years later, and after vision therapy with you, Andrew is now an honored college graduate! He wears a college ring on his finger to remind himself how far he has come, and what he has accomplished. Vision therapy allowed Andrew to find his voice, both verbally and on paper. We will always be very thankful for the part that you played in that and in his future.
Thank you for all that you do for all of your patients!!
Terry and Andrew

Inbound Marketing
We have an good idea about inbound marketing!
Creating interest and earning attention of users in your market through natural browsing habits. This is done without interrupting their flow or focus on what they are clicking on and doing. It turns out only a little more than 10% of clicks on the web come from interruption marketing. This is not only bad results, but also a bad way to get them. Nobody likes interrupting pop-ups, pop-unders or being redirected to something they didn't want, need or ask for with a click. Let's face it...being interrupted by ads stinks. And it is an undesirable way to begin a relationship with your customer. You want your customers to arrive happy, even excited about you.
the other, roughly 90% of clicks go to natural or inbound marketing. What this means is that personal referrals, blogs, articles, emails, etc were found to be interesting enough to users to cause them to pursue click. So they organically, naturally clicked on or searched for, or typed the URL into their browser in order to come to the destination they were interested in.
This destination could be you.
To us, inbound marketing should be the way you reach out. Reaching your customers where they are instead of a blind shotgun approach. It take some time and effort but it is productive and has a building effect over time that is more natural in terms of user flow. Customers come to you a consequence of their life path rather than an abrupt or irritating interruption.
Good inbound marketing will:
Reach and gain the attention of your customers where they are already going Speak to their needs and wants along the way to you Lead them to your landing page or website Collect important information from your customer to help you serve and market them better. Data such as:
· Contact Information
· Qualification Data you need such as sex, age, Income and other demographic profiling data
· Measure performance of leads
· Where did they came from?
· What interest led them to you?
· How did they find you?
· When they return?
· How many visits are hits
· How many visits convert to become a customer
· What works and what does not.
It Takes Good, Smart Work!
The truth is, there is no magic bullet to effective inbound marketing. No one-shot element that paints the whole picture. If there were, it would be "smart, diligent work". Anything other marketers tell you is "a sales job". Effective and positive marketing requires insight to the market being reached, strong data collection techniques, even stronger data analytics, reporting - such as revenue stream analysis, heat mapping, buyer trends, etc. Further, a great marketing program needs constant updating of your content in the market. Blogs, articles, ads and info graphics all play a role. Social media is an essential element in today's digital marketplace. You simply must have it to keep up. You content, social and otherwise, will change with the market. Sometimes contributing to the change. Sometimes changing with it. But in every case, the content must be managed by reviewing what works and what doesn't. Adapting, modifying and improving. By a human. Not a computer. That is where we come in.
BigBangWebs can show you how you can contribute to your rise and how to prevent a fall. Where to go to find out. How to write you content and where to put it ... and why. There is nobody more qualified at your business than you. So we will use that important facet to help you grow and nurture your business by nurturing relationships found on the web.
Content Marketing: Part of an effective Inbound marketing strategy should include:
· Website & Blog Content: This content will exist at your website and in other formats such as email, other websites, forums, blogs and more.
· Blogging
· Website articles
· Images
· Videos
· Polls
· Social media account entries. Such as Facebook, Google, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and others.
· Email Campaigns: Send subscriber based emails to notify customers about specials and other interests.
· Print media: Newspaper articles, Ads, Business cards, flyers, etc to be delivered via mail, person to person and referral.
· Community outreach: Get your business involved in the local or regional community as you are able. Sponsorships, contributions of money and/or time. Time can be best if you are able to commit. But remember, don't over extend yourself.
· Referrals: Friends and customers, other websites, forums and articles are a great way to get leads from what could be considered both biased and unbiased parties.
There is much more to be said about good inbound marketing. Even though many of the principals are the same, every business is different. Let us help you create a marketing plan for your mission.
Using information such as market research, knowledge of your industry, understanding what a value is in your market, and what customers want, you can create articles to used in blog entries across all of your media outlets.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Since almost everyone is searching the web for products and services they want, more and more businesses are turning to the web to get found. The process we apply to your website in shaping content with keywords and key phrases in order for your website to be found on the first page of search results (organic results) is called Search Engine Optimization, or SEO. SEO depends on words. Keywords to be exact. Good SEO is all about how well your keywords are used in your local content at your website and remote content on other websites that helps to determine how Google's search engine indexes your site for priority when someone searches a keyword term. How a search engine indexes a websites ranking varies depending on the search engine. They are all constantly updating and changing to keep up with a changing market and changing world. BigBangWebs will take the lead when it comes to planning this vital rlole for your project. We will walk you through the details and assist in making sure all the SEO bases are covered. Some important things to remember about your SEO are:
· Search Engines really try to return what they think you the searcher wants.
· If you want to be found for what you do, then what you do should be written into your content. For example, if you sell flowers, you should have the words "sell flowers" and "Flowers", and "Flower Sales" listed throughout your site's content.
· Always use Page titles, headers, subtitles, body text, meta tags, image names, alt text, keyword links in your sites content.
· Submit your site to Google, Yahoo and others
· Use a robot file
· Get links to your site on other websites.
· Make sure your website's links lead to pages with meaningful content about the keywords for the page. For example, have a link named Flower Sales that links to a page with the Title "Buy Flowers", subtitle of "We sell the best flowers", then have body text that speaks about the great flowers you sell. Have images with file names such as Flowers-Daisies-for-sale, and alt test such as "We Sell Flowers". Let the fact you sell flowers totally saturate your site.
· Create Interest in your brand
Search Engine Marketing (PPC)
PPC, or Pay Per Click marketing is a very powerful tool when you are on a sales campaign. It can even lead to overwhelming results that send you running to turn it off. It can be very expensive and it can be very economical. In every case it returns great data for you to guage whether it is performing the way you need it to. At BigBangWebs, we can help you setup your PPC marketing campaigns for highly efficient reporting and review. You can set it up with budgets limits, geographical location, demographics and more. You can do a lot with PPC marketing. When you are ready to discuss this type of advertising, we'll be ready to go over your options and how this method cvan work together with your inbound marketing campaign. PPC marketing can:
· Delivery rapid returns and traffic. Same day
· Target Geographical areas such as a zipcode, town, state or region.
· Confirm to budget restraints
· Available across several search engines like Google, Yahoo and others
· It is agile. Start and stop with a click.
· PPC is integrated with your Google analytics for extreme reporting.
· If you are not careful you can waste money fast.
· Cost is dependent on keywords used and their popularity. It is a bid war. Keywords in less demand cost less.
Social Media Integration
Social Media is as important as a personal referral. For the first time in history social media marketing is in a position to have an immediate impact on your business. People are able to login and tell others about you and create reviews about their experiences with businesses they deal with. When folks can talk about the weather, their relationships, marriages and "oh by the way, you have got to try this company I called today...they were great!", then they have the power to seriously help your business. While social media is not something you can control, you can influence it. With positive customer service programs and agressive quality assurance after the sale, you can build a very strong loyalty program that is great impacted by Social Media. Plus, as we have seen before, a message can go viral very fast. Talk to us about making sure the message your customers spread is a good one.

Mar 20, 2017
Two year anniversary!
I eat meat, eggs, and cheese. Only. That's it.
I do drink a couple of morning decaf coffees, and I feel MUCH healthier without it. Same for an occasional sip of good Scotch. My goal over the next year is to really get rid of the coffee--the longer I go on this pure fuel, the more my body objects to any plant food, and coffee is a plant food, much as I hate to admit it. But otherwise, I am happier than I could have thought possible with this way of eating. The hubs does it too (except he still has his corn chips and beer).
The road was not always smooth. That first year, my body had a lot of healing to do. First, the thyroid issues--thyroid removed back in 2001 and the synthetic meds hadn't worked for years. Took six months to find a doc to prescribe natural desiccated thyroid hormone instead of the awful Synthroid. Then there was the heart thing. Try telling somebody you have a heart condition that is NOT related to a daily bacon habit. Ha! But the heart docs (all of them) told me it was not diet--that it was "an electrical problem, not plumbing". Got that fixed last fall, and it's been smooth sailing since then.
I gained weight! No shock there, right? Except most people who eat this way lose weight, not gain it. What??? But after decades of obsessing over my weight, it was a real eye-opener to discover I wanted my health more than I wanted size 6 jeans. To gain 25 lbs of pure fat when you've spent your whole life working out for hours and eating "clean" in order to fit that Perfect Image...it was a shock. But I kept eating meat--sometimes 4 or more pounds a day--trusting those veterans of this path when they said my body was tending to inner healing before it addressed the "small matter" of fat loss. Talk about facing your fears. But they were right! At the 1.5 year mark, I verrrrrry slowly began to lose fat...I mean like a lb a month or so. Now I can wear those 6's again--even at a heavier weight, because I have more muscle and a better shape. In the meantime, I learned to honor my health and forego my vanity. Huge.
The best thing? I never think about food. I plan meals, I buy groceries, I cook all the meals except for Hub's morning eggs. (I'm not much of an egg cook, so he prefers to do it himself. :~P ) But until my belly growls, I seriously don't think about food. I can sit next to someone eating a big gooey desert...and it just doesn't register as food to me. In fact, a trip through the grocery store bakery (needed burger buns for in-laws) makes me a little sick from the smell. That used to be my favorite smell!!! So strange. When somebody says, "Oh, I could never do that", my first thought is, "I didn't think I could either."
It's not will-power...it's a physical change from the body using carbs for fuel to it using fat and meat for fuel. Essentially I stopped putting sugar in my gas tank. My cholesterol dropped 40 points in the first year, my super-low iron and vitamin D levels came up to normal, and my triglycerides are spectacular. All without meds or supplements.
And apparently, my body likes its new fuel just fine. Here's a Pinterest board with recipes: https://www.pinterest.com/zerocarbhealth/
And for the curious, there's a website that helps discuss the basics:
There's a facebook group, too...that's where you get help when all of it seems too weird and daunting--I mean it IS a way of eating that flies in the face of everything we've ever heard about nutrition, and some of these folks have eaten this way for decades. That helps.
Okay, no more links.
A couple of non-scale victories:
1. My bra size didn't go flat when I lost the weight. How weird is that? And my measurements--the boob/waist/hip proportion was suddenly that of a woman instead of the flat, straight boy figure I used to have at this weight. Yeah--I never had curves before. Seriously. Now I do, and I'm not sure what I think of that. We're not talking Dolly Parton, but I didn't have to start wearing my training bras again at least. :~P
2. Grocery shopping and meal planning. Oh my. Sooooo easy. Shopping is fast--meat isle, eggs, bacon, dairy. A quick trip to get beer and chips for the spousal unit, but then home. Meal planning is pretty repetitive, but neither of us seems to care. Beef, pork, bacon, chicken mostly. Eggs, bacon, shrimp, gourmet cheeses, interesting combinations of all of the above. Did I mention bacon? I make an occasional left-over bowl that I call Cluck-Moo-Oink Salad. Food is no longer comfort, entertainment, or bonding at holidays. Food is fuel now. That's it, and that's not a sad thing at all. I'm too busy living my life. (Bacon!) My mom-in-law throws a roast in the crockpot when we come to visit, and can't believe how easy we are to feed now.
3. Energy. Not a manic, vacuum-the-sidewalks, hyper energy, but a constant ability to do what the day sets in front of me. And the endurance to keep doing it 'til it's done. The last week has seen me out in the yard, hauling rock, digging beds, putting up fencing, weeding and cleaning, bending and stooping. I'm tired at the end of the day, but not wiped out like I used to be. I take an occasional nap on the weekend, I like to sit & read or do hand sewing. But when there is work to be done (isn't there always?) I don't suffer over it. I actually clean my house now!
4. Lastly: I'm calm and clear headed. Without drugs. Ha! I used to be one of the most high-strung individuals you'd care to meet (or care not to meet). So tightly wired that I had ulcers at the age of four--yep--good ol' peptic ulcers. Nowadays, I still have ups and downs, but a mishap or frustration (ever dealt with insurance companies?) doesn't send me into a tail spin of anger or depression. I'm calm, my memory is better, and I can really appreciate the little things of life instead of running around searching for the next Serotonin Fix.
Old timers of this path call it "The ZC Zen". Who knew?
Okay...no more about the weird diet. I had to crow about it because it's amazing to me that I've done this for two years, and have no intention of ever eating any other way. Ever.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled program. Peace, y'all.

For me, this is the best ZC success story I've read! I've just finished the first week of my 2nd attempt on this WOE and your blog just really spoke to me. Congratulations on your success and thanks for sharing your story.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm so glad, Lisa--I know most folks won't consider such a drastic change, but when it works, it works! Hang in there this time--get on the other side of the hard stuff, and you'll find health benefits you didn't believe were possible.Delete
The diet sounds interesting. Whatever it takes to be healthy! This diet seems to be working well for you.ReplyDeleteReplies
It is! And I don't post these updates to imply anyone else should do this, but it seems unheard of by so many, I thought it would be good to at least offer a glimpse of something that is healthy, something that goes against conventional wisdom. :~)Delete
Hi...You sound like a really cool, together, interesting person! I was attracted to our similarities.....I had my thyroid removed about 25 years ago by an over excited doc at a teaching hospital. I didn't have cancer, but a swelling, and a history of cancer (melanoma) so he was a little scalpal happy. Wouldn't do that today. Anyways, I found you on ZC and love reading your story! You express so well the many attributes of ZC. My own tale of woe being on it for 6 pure months, then a big move and off for 3, and now back on it for 3 never to depart again! Do give up the decaf, even a little caffeine can screw with your cortisol (whatever that is!) I have done ZC both times with no coffee and love the taste of water/and fizzy water. I am surrounded by head scratchers who think my food choices are insane....:( Very sad! But I've been a lonely black sheep most of my life having done many alternative things (Gerson Therapy for cancer, physic surgery, other strange diets, and going to Burning Man 10 times!!) BTW, what type of thyroid replacement are you taking? I am on naturethroid. Weight loss is very slow, but the body seems to be re-shaping! Love your dolls, I was an art teacher in a previous lifetime! Puppets were my fave for all grades!! Long live ZC! Marilyn Bloom (Walnut Creek, California)ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Marilyn. I'm on naturethroid too. I have to pay a doc out of pocket--she's a naturopath who doesn't take Tricare ins.--but it's worth it to find one who will treat this the way I need her to, with an eye toward symptoms rather than blood tests. We may well be moving to Tennessee in the next several years (after hubs retires) and I will have to start the search all over again! I've always wanted to go to Burning Man. Cheers!Delete
Here's some "fat" to chew on!! http://www.livenaturallivewell.com/blog/?tag=decafDelete
though I'm sure you have done the research! I'm a complete coffee addict, as well as sugar, and it's made a big dif in my ZC life to just drink water. Good luck! Be fun to have paths meet one day! A vacay to San Fran, we live nearby!! A freezer full of steak awaits!
Hats off the you Jan!!ReplyDelete
So glad you are doing well on your diet. Your husband too. I don't think fried pork chops are what you are talking about, but I sure do love those. Could eat them everyday. So wonderful to feel good and be able to do the things you need to and want to.ReplyDeleteReplies
Fried pork chops are definitely what I'm talking about! Just not breaded. :~P Fry them up in a skillet with butter, and let's eat.Delete
This is a great article! I'm researching this WOE for my husband who has trouble digesting fruits and veggies but wants to lose weight. He loves meat of course :-) Our biggest issue is we do like to have beer and whiskey. I know when he does start this he will have to cut alcohol out completely until he gets to his goal weight. I'm not sure if I will do this Zero Carb WOE or not because I seriously love my morning black coffee and not sure I could give it up. I am excited though for my husband to start this (starting after a BeerFest in May that we already bought tickets for) Thanks for sharing your journey! I seriously never heard of this WOE until I started googling "all meat diet" to try and help my husband lose weight without eating veggies since he can't. I came across the blog "My Zero Carb Life" and that's where I found the Facebook group.ReplyDelete

Lucia Victoria Interiors has recently opened our second shop in West Malling High Street. We were delighted with all of those who attended our boutique opening last month. It was an excellent day and I would like to thank all of those involved. I would also like to thank the local MP Tom Tugendhat for officially opening the new boutique. I would also like to thank friends, family and local shop owners for their amazing support. What a fabulous day we had.
It has been a very exciting month for all of us at LV and we look forward to seeing you at our new boutique.

Apparently many in the group had been there since before 8am. The group blockading the gate included several children who were also probably being used to secure proof coins given the strict (per person) coin limits.

The Works by Women San Francisco Meetup Group hosted our fourth event on Feb 21st in Berkeley– a performance of Tanya Shaffer and Vienna Teng's hugely talked about play, The Fourth Messenger, produced by Shaffer's 100 Shades of Green company. Our rapidly growing group (thank you, ladies!) was thrilled to attend this musical that re-imagines Buddha's story – in this case, the Buddha is a woman, Mama Sid – and features a stellar acting line-up as well as Teng's gorgeously eclectic score. Of particular interest in pre- and post-play conversations was the common question that all of us asked ourselves – what if, indeed, the Buddha were a woman? Why are our gods and spiritual leaders mostly men?
Here's an excerpt from Robert Hurwitt's review of the play in SFGate –
""Messenger" – the almost sung-through musical takes its title from the omens that set Gautama on his path – is Shaffer's first major project since her exhilarating "Baby Taj" premiered at TheatreWorks in 2005. Produced by Shaffer's 100 Shades of Green company, it delves into a similar mix-and-clash of East-West culture, imaginatively staged by the same director – Broadway's Matt August – and set and costume designers."
Setsu Uzume of the Art Animal says the play stands apart from "other spiritual theater" by its "message of self-growth; Mama Sid's journey from bourgeois to Buddha demonstrates that it is possible to be both flawed and enlightened. Her transformation asks what it means to be enlightened in a modern world saturated with class warfare, tabloid media and other forces trying to undermine true growth. Shaffer never quite answers this question, but implies that modern civilization tends to destroy goodness instead of learning from it."
She goes on to praise Vienna Teng's score: "Shaffer's delightful existentialism is equally matched by Teng's musical genius. The score has grit and determination: an alchemy of jazz and folk-rock that resonates from the first to final chord. Teng's complex harmonies and inspired melodies in pieces like "The Human Experience" and "Look to the Thought" stick with you long after the curtain goes down." The score has also received rave reviews elsewhere, with Jean Schiffman of the SF Examiner saying: "Teng's score for the show is melodic and lyrical with layered, complex harmonies."
The play runs through March 10 at Ashby Stage, 1901 Ashby Ave., Berkeley. For those of you who couldn't make it, you can buy tickets here.
If you were part of the Meetup event or saw The Fourth Messenger on your own, show your love to the women artists involved! What did you find enjoyable, meaningful or interesting about their work?

From the article:
The backup and restore process itself is the very model of simplicity. Armed with the root credentials to the VMware servers and administration rights to Virtual Center, esxRanger's backup method is straightforward: It creates a snapshot of the target server and then leverages tar and gzip to collect and compress the snapshots and the VMDK (VM Disk Format) hardware configuration file for the target VM into an SSH connection between the ESX or VI3 server and the workstation. From there, the resulting tarball is placed onto the destination medium, whether it is a local disk, a SAN, or a simple Windows share. Alternatively, the backup may be directly placed on a file system mounted on the VMware server, be that a SAN LUN (logical unit number) or an NFS file system.

By Logan Guzik, junior
From planting trees to picking up trash, teens from Monroe County participated in Global Youth Service Day 2017 on April 21, the world's largest day of community service.
With the help of Monroe County Youth Council (MCYC), seniors Celestina Garcia and Ellen Bergan worked vigorously, starting in November 2016, to lead the 2017 Global Youth Service Day. Both members were thrilled to be working together in leading the youth participants and serving various local community organizations within but not limited to Monroe County.
"Volunteering effectuates change," Bergan said, "What you're doing here is truly making a difference in your community."
Edgewood freshman Vanessa Fender attended GYSD for the first time and was happy to be working closely with K-5 children. Fender hoped to make new friends at GYSD and share a helping hand to everyone she encountered.
"When you help people it makes you feel really good about yourself," Fender said.
Youth participants are registered after enrolling through a participating organization such as a school, church, or even online. Participants were free to join an event or create their own. They were given a choice of projects in the following categories: health, environment, poverty and hunger, education, human rights, and community building.
One factor limiting Edgewood High School sophomore students from participating in GYSD was the ISTEP+ testing for 2017. GYSD fell on the Friday of the testing week, so so sophomore students were not able to leave school to participate. Sophomores who were eagerly looking forward to GYSD had to search for other means of giving back to the community. For those who missed GYSD 2017, the next opportunity is in 2018.
At the end of the day, Bergan and Garcia always wish for more time.
"It's hard work, but it's fun work, especially with a friend. You have such a sense of fulfillment and self-actualization at the end of the day like, 'I accomplished this, I planted those plants, or I cleaned this entire pantry; this was my work and I made an impact on other people's lives.' It's a really good feeling," Garcia said.
If you want to serve the Bloomington community through GYSD, MCYC sign ups begin in the fall of 2017. For more information visit http://bloomington.in.gov/volunteer

Baked Sweet Potatoes with Pomegranate
Sliced Sweet Potatoes are baked in a spiced orange maple glaze and sprinkled with juicy, bright pomegranate arils. It is a gorgeous, colorful Thanksgiving side dish that is a little bit more on the healthier side without sacrificing flavor.
I made this Baked Sweet Potatoes with Pomegranate recipe 2 years ago for Thanksgiving and just recently was reminded of it as I was going through the photos on my computer in attempt to clean things up a bit.
When I look back on that Thanksgiving I remember how much I felt like my cup had been filled. It was still a new thing for me to sometimes not have my kids for Thanksgiving as, at the time, a single mom.
The previous year (3 years ago), I had no kids home and I was invited over to have Thanksgiving with some people I knew, but not well, and I was the only divorced adult in attendance, as well as the only adult in attendance with no kids. I felt really alone and awkward.
Fast forward to the next year (2 years ago). I had my kids home with me and my house full of wonderful neighbor friends, most of them new friends that I had met during the last year.
I can still remember the week of prep work that my friend Bekah and I put into the meal: figuring out what we wanted to make, grocery shopping together, doing prep work together in each other's kitchens, Bekah's husband smoking the Rosemary Beer Brined Turkey Breasts for us in their Traeger, and then Bekah and I finishing up all the cooking the day of at my home before everyone came over for the meal.
It had snowed that day and it was like the most picture perfect Thanksgiving Day. The food all turned out amazing, even the new recipes that we had experimented with, like these Baked Sweet Potatoes with Pomegranate, and everyone honestly LOVED everything.
I admit, it always feels a little good to hear people say things like "this is the best Thanksgiving meal I've had," or "I've never had turkey (or stuffing or green beans or whatever!) that were this good before!" all while everyone is chatting, Christmas tunes are playing in the background, and everyone is having a genuinely great time. Oh, and the kids weren't acting crazy at all.
After spending the previous year basically alone for the holiday, I could not have asked for a better, and more heartwarming turn around the next year. It was the perfect way to get me out of the whole single parent holiday slump.
For some reason it gave me the extra energy burst I needed to photograph a few of the recipes ON THANKSGIVING DAY (because that is what normal people do, right?) and I'm so glad that I did because this recipe is one of them and I'm finally getting around to sharing it.
Those single parenting holiday seasons are gone now, but I am so thankful that my last year living that life was such a full and joyous holiday season. None of my neighbors allowed me to feel alone or forgotten through it all.
I hosted again last year, but this time with Kevin and his kids as part of the group, and it was so fun to have our fist Thanksgiving together as a family of 6 in our brand new home that we had only been living in for about 3 weeks at that time. The holidays always have me looking back a bit at how quickly life can change and how fast it can become so much better.
About these Baked Sweet Potatoes with Pomegranate…I thought that this was a fun and different way to serve sweet potatoes. Bekah and I didn't really want to make yams with a marshmallow topping so we opted for this recipe instead. It has tons of flavor yet it feels a lot lighter to eat. Plus, I love how colorful that it is when the table is set.
If you can find the already seeded pomegranate arils, I definitely recommend using those because it just makes the whole process a little bit easier. And then, for the most part, this recipe can be prepped ahead if you want or need to do that.

These Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls have a beautiful golden, orange color that brightens up the dinner table. Sweet Potato Dinner rolls are versatile too. Not only are they great for dinner, but my kids loved these rolls in place of regular bread for cinnamon sugar toast for breakfast.

Even though coloring books typically arent expensive, you will find they have plenty of pages that the kids simply skip over. With creating your own though, you can be certain every single page is going to be a hit. With single pages too each child can work on one of them independently instead of sharing the same coloring book.
Many parents like to print out enough to make small coloring books. It is faster than you think and a great gift that you can give to your child. Plus, you can feel great knowing that they will be using the pictures that they really like. As their parent you already know what will appeal to them the most and make them very excited.
This coloring pages are wonderful for helping children to get excited about the holidays too. For example you can print those for what is just around the corner including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day, and Easter. In fact, they can even give those beautifully colored pages to other people as gifts for that particular holiday time.
If you want your children to get the most from it, allow them to sit with you at the computer and choose the pictures that they would like. They are going to be more inclined to spend time coloring them when they have had some input about what they will look like.
Free coloring pages are found all over the internet. They are offered for all of the kid`s favorite characters too including Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Dora the Explorer and more. You will also find great themes such as robots, trucks and equipment, princesses, animals, and culture.

Big Game Deep Sea Sport Fishing in Guanacaste Costa Rica
Papagayo is currently leasing slips at the commencement of peak marlin season!
Big Game Deep Sea Sport Fishing in Northern Pacific Costa Rica
The brand new full-service, five-star Marina Papagayo is currently chartering wet slips to the motor yachting, cruising, sport fishermen and the rest of the nautical community – all of this at the onset of big-game sport-fishing and cruising season on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.
Peak marlin season begins early January and runs through March off the southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica whose shores hold the brand new Marina Papagayo.
The Northern Pacific coast will consistently offer 78-85 degree temperatures on the open water! Winds typically only 10-15 knots as well! The ideal setting that the North Pacific bay supplies for big game deep sea fishing, motor yachting and cruising has been validated by Marina Papaguayo! Shimmering blue waters, reefs, big tropical islands and a lot of sun.
Marina Papagayo is only the second full-service marina on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. The other is located on Bahia Culebra in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Before Marina Papagayo opened in late in 2008 at Peninsula Papagayo resort, options were limited for the nautical community and the demand for full-service marinas in Costa Rica was left unsatiated. As the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica is a hot-bed for fishing large tarpon, snook, marlin, dorado and more, this marina will certainly have an impact on the international nautical community.

Big Game Deep Sea Sport Fishing in Guanacaste Costa Rica
The marina is absolutely beautiful!! Does anyone have great Costa Rica sport fishing stories from this season?
Marina Papagayo
Marina Papagayo is located in the Bahia de Culebra on the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica in the Guanacaste region. The marina is part of the Peninsula Papagayo development project. The marina offers easy access to the Gulf of Papagayo.
coordinates of marinas
I could not find either Marina Papagayo or the marina in the Bahia Culebra on Google Earth. Would you be able to give me the coordinates for both marinas? Also, could you tell me the name of the marina in Bahia Culebra? I am helping a friend chart his way from Mexico to Panama and he would be very interested in staying at your marinas. Thank you.
Marina Pez Vela
To fully appreciate Marina Pez Vela, one must first take a long look at the country it calls home.Costa Rica. Untamed yet cultured. Adventurous yet relaxing. A peaceful country known as one of the most beautiful travel and tourism destinations in the world. More than 30% of Costa Rica's land is protected through a system of national parks and reserves including the famed Chirripo Volcano.

Online puppy scams trick people out of thousands
(FOX 13) - Puppies - paid for and promised - but never arrive at your home. Con-artists are using dogs as a lure to steal your money.
It's easy to fall in love with a puppy, and that makes it easy to fall for a puppy scam.
"There are people out there who are unscrupulous. They will do anything to steal your money - some break into your house - some break into your bank account - but a cute loveable puppy is bait!" says Dr. Walter Woolf of Air Animal pet movers in Tampa.
His business gets several phone calls a week from people asking when their puppies will arrive. They've been coordinating flights for people's pets all around the world since the seventies, but have never shipped puppies from breeders. He explains how scammers are stealing his business's identity and good reputation.
"I mean, we are www.Airanimal.Com so what they'll do is insert air animal into their domain name so they'll get picked up on a Google search," Woolf explained.
The scammers charge victims for a pet, and the cost to ship the pet, but the pet doesn't actually exist.
"They suck 'em in, suck 'em in, suck 'em in," Dr. Woolf says.
RELATED: BBB warns to read fine print before financing a pet
Con-artists pilfer images online, often from real breeders' websites, and then build their own.
Velvet Brinson fell in love with one of those pictures - a puppy named Lexus. She wired $500 to get Lexus on the now-inactive site alphamaltese.com.
"Right after I paid, I noticed, I was seeing some of the pictures. It seems like I've seen this on other websites," Brinson says about how her suspicions were raised.
Scammers will also "borrow" wording from legitimate sites. That was actually a red flag for Erica Smith, keeping her from buying 11-week old Sylvia on parkerhavenese.com.
"I noticed a several paragraph progression - that the way it was written changed," she explains.
When you cut and paste the text from parkerhavenese.com into a search engine - it takes you to other websites that have the exact same language.
And like parkerhavenese.com, there are strange grammatical errors - as if the site is computer translated to English. Then Smith says she noticed something about the emails sent from the site.
RELATED: Hillsborough considers pet store crackdown
"I noticed the email was coming from a server from a French language site," Smith says.
Air Animal has linked several of the scams targeting them to the former French colony of Cameroon.
Dr. Woolf says, "To buy a puppy from an internet ad is a risky, risky business."
In the past year, there were more than 30 puppy scams reported to the Better Business Bureau in Florida – and more than 400 across the U.S.
Parkerhavenese.com has been flagged as fake by the BBB's scam tracker, but it's still up and running. Sylvia the puppy is still up for sale, and months later she's still just 11 weeks old.
"These aren't sellers of puppies. These are brokers who are selling imaginary puppies," emphasizes Dr. Woolf.
Brinson realized she bought an imaginary puppy when Alpha Maltese demanded an additional $1,800 for insurance and shipment.
"I was like, 'I just got scammed. I can't believe it,'" Brinson says, adding a warning. "Don't fall in love with a picture. Don't fall in love with a picture because chances are that's all it is."
RELATED: Hillsborough approves noisy dog ordinance
Even though Erica Smith didn't send any money, she says she wanted to speak out to warn others.
Both women have new puppies now that they bought in person.
Dr. Woolf has a whole segment of his business' website dedicated to warning consumers.
"These cyber criminals steal the identities of reputable pet shippers to appeal to your soft side and steal your money. They want you to use Western Union, Money Gram or send gift cards to pay for this fictional pet. After the money is sent, you can't get it back. To buy a pet, talk with the actual breeder. Get to know them. Visit with the local breeder. Ask questions. Ask for a minimum of three satisfied customer phone numbers and call them. A cyber pet seller will never share the name of the breeder or a telephone contact number."
The American Kennel Club hosts an online source for reputable AKC-registered breeders at marketplace.akc.org.
Remember, if you are a victim of an Internet imposter, report it.

Frogbelly and Symphony + Denis Jones
A theatrical asteroid flying by the watchers and listeners.
A bombastic flying piece of rock projecting on a screen near you.
Lyrical excryations adjure the unafraid and the unadorned.
Tailoring surrealist tightropes,
Extensive forms merge with roots in traditional instrument playing.
Watch the end of the hibernation and resolve.
Denis Jones
With his second album, "Red + Yellow =" (released October 2010 on Manchester independent label Humble Soul), Denis has at last managed to capture the intensity of his live performances in a studio environment, working with various engineers and finalising the recording and mixing at Airtight Studios with Tom Knott (The Earlies).
The album was preceded by a limited edition 10″ EP featuring remixes by Paddy Steer and Graham Massey.
Denis Jones has, over the last three years, developed a show-stopping live performance based around the core of his exceptional and unique guitar-playing style and rich, soulful voice. Utilising a loop station and all manner of samplers and effects, Denis creates vast, complex orchestrations of beat-box rhythms, multi-layered vocals and other-worldly sounds which veer from subtle heart-wrenching folk and blues to heavy bass-driven electronica.
"Scuzzy Mancunian blues at its richest and, most intriguing." The Guardian
"Logical, eardrum-massaging, heart-stirring sonic harmony" Drowned in Sound

Antitrust Nod for Expedia to Buy Orbitz
By Aaron M. Kesslersept.
September 16, 2015
Expedia could continue the negotiations to buy the travel booking site Orbitz, because the Justice Department will not try to block the acquisition. There where complaints of hotels companies and other consumer advocate and lawmakers, raising concerns over the potential market power of the combined company, which would control roughly 75 percent of the domestic market for third-party online booking. The assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's antitrust said that "[they] took those concerns seriously and factored into our analysis all of the information provided," but Orbitz was by comparison a small source of bookings for many hotel companies, and that the business of online travel was "evolving rapidly."

Review by:
Stuart Aken
on Nov. 18, 2012 :
This collection of 25 science fiction and fantasy tales represents the cream of the entries for a short story contest run by Fantastic Books. The stories included are the contest winners plus a couple from professional writers, invited by the organisers. 10% of sales receipts will go to cancer charities.
Anthologies are sometimes patchy affairs, but not this one. The quality of the writing is pretty consistent and all the stories are well told (I must add here that I contributed one of the tales). But consistency doesn't mean similarity. There's great variety here. Some humour, some darkness and something for younger readers. All speculative fiction, the stories entertain, amuse, inspire and make the reader think.
There are characters of every sort lurking in this selection and plots to suit all tastes. This is a selection you can read at one sitting, as I did, or dip into for those short breaks over coffee, when a longer piece must be interrupted. I enjoyed all the stories but I don't intend to describe them in this short review. All are different and all demonstrate the imaginative power of their creators, the skill of these writers as storytellers. I thoroughly recommend the book to all who love their fiction with a twist of the unexpected.

on Nov. 10, 2012 :
OK, I own up I've written one of the stories in this collection, but seriously, this is one of the best collections of short stories I, as an avid reader of SF and Fantasy, have ever had the pleasure of reading. I have my favourites that suit my personal tastes and you will have yours, because this is such a diverse collection that you will find something you love, guaranteed.
The stories by the two pro writers "The Trouble with Dragons" by Danuta Reah and "Rebirth" by Stuart Aken (which is a brilliant choice to close the collection) are really quite amazing.
The best thing though, if the intro didn't tell you who the pro writers were in this collection, you'd struggle to pick them out from a quality point of view. The publishers, Fantastic Book Publishing have done a great job compiling this collection.
I'm using it to hunt down the works of lots of other writers I might never have discovered otherwise and that makes me very happy.

This is how short story anthologies are meant to be. This is a collection of fantasy and sci-fi stories. All very different. All very well written. Some funny, some creepy, some uplifting, some sad. It's exactly what a short story collection should be – a thumping good read.
